#jesus chris superstar live

[susandsnell]

In honour (?? idk I'm Jewish I don't observe it!) of Easter weekend, throwback to my circa 2020 JCS hyperfix where I got really into Erik Grönwall's Simon Zealotes from the NBC 2018 live broadcast production; this drawing is 4 years old but I'm still quite fond of it!

New Music | Shayna Steele

When she began the journey to what would become her newest release, Gold Dust, Shayna Steele was done making albums. Steele, perhaps one of the most sought after backup and demo vocalists in popular music (Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Bette Midler have all enlisted her) was coming off the heels of her 2019 album Watch Me Fly when 2020 and lockdown came crashing down. 

“I was deeply depressed,” said Steele. “I really thought it was over. It was last call. I can make a good living singing other people’s material. I can go back to Broadway. I have a kid to raise.” 

Steele’s indisputable vocal talent led her to star in Rent and Jesus Christ Superstar, and in the original production of Hairspray, whose composer Marc Shaiman regularly calls to sing any new music he’s written. Through Shaiman, she began recording demos and singing back-up, and eventually drew a reputation as the go-to for the biggest voices of pop music.

But even though she became known in certain circles for her undeniable voice and performance ability, she still had her own dreams to pursue. She began recording and releasing her own music, and in 2015, RISE (Ropeadope Records) landed the #2 spot on the iTunes Jazz Chart, gaining her a foothold in the jazz realm and eventually collaborations with celebrated jazz artists, like Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti. She began performing at festivals around the world and making guest soloist appearances with symphony orchestras across the country.

Everything seemed on the right track until Steele found herself in the throes of a pandemic, unable to perform and with no desire to create. After months of paralyzing self-doubt, Steele decided to finish her music degree at Berklee College of Music that she had started at University of Southern Mississippi several years prior.

As a biracial woman who experienced a massive culture shock when moving from Germany to Biloxi, MS, as a 9-year-old with her military family, Steele has spent much of her life contemplating her identity – both outwardly and inwardly. “Moving to Mississippi was the first time I felt different. At the time, seeing a multi-racial family was out of the norm for most,” she says of the way she was viewed by adults and kids alike.

Steele left USM when New York City came calling, a move that became a pivotal point in her life and led to her finally finding her authentic self both in her career and personally as a black woman.

But in 2020, without any opportunity to perform live, Steele, unconvinced that she would ever create another album, decided to finish her degree. At Berklee, Steele dug deep into music theory and started writing and composing with fellow students. While watching coverage of the George Floyd murder and ensuing social justice movement, Steele and frequent collaborator Kamilah Marshall composed “The Bloodline” with producer/arranger David Cook (Jennifer Hudson, Maren Morris, Shoshana Bean). The experience sparked her once again to reexamine her experiences and identity as a black woman.

“I didn’t want to add to the messages of anger and rage. There was enough of that out there. With ‘The Bloodline,’ I wanted to reclaim the joy of what it means to be black, but with a heaviness to the production. We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, all the things our ancestors did even though they were considered 3/5 of a person. The joy of black people when we get in a room together.”

Gold Dust by Shayna Steele

The cathartic experience of writing brought hope – maybe she would make one more album. Working with Cook, Steele decided to “throw everything” at the endeavor. Gold Dust, a culmination of originals and incredibly reimagined covers from Ray Charles to Radiohead to Cole Porter, emerged, and “The Bloodline” became the first single.

Named for the rollicking, powerhouse Fleetwood Mac cover of “Gold Dust Woman” on the album, Gold Dust brought Steele back – not just to what she does, but to who she is.

A frenetic and powerful energy runs throughout the album. On the Cole Porter classic “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To,” Steele enlisted Grammy-nominated jazz saxophonist Donny McCaslin (David Bowie) to reimagine the song with an upbeat, almost electric feel surrounding Steele’s mighty vocals.

“Faust Arp,” a Radiohead cover featuring trumpeter Philip Dizack, encapsulates tension and the ramblings of the mind. Likewise “January” begins softly and builds into a rising crescendo of sounds and textures with Steele’s laser-focused vocals cutting to the forefront, eventually chanting “We will always find our way.”

Yet through the album-making process, shared for the first time with her 10-year-old daughter Caia, Steele’s perspective started to change.

“My daughter was old enough now to be around and with me in the studio on this album. I began to realize for myself, and to tell her, ‘This is what I do. And I’m good at it.’

“It’s important for my daughter to see her mother pursue her dreams and still be a good mom. I had people in my life tell me that something would have to give, but I didn’t give into that narrative. There is a world where women can have it all.”

Fittingly, on the album closer, “A Perfect Frame,” Steele belts out the refrain, “All I want’s inside of me.”

“The darkness didn’t swallow me whole,” Steele says. “I came up from the ashes.”

john legend was truly a terrible choice for jesus in jcs... like he didn’t fit the vocals at all, and his acting was non-existent, reduced to deep brow furrowing and random bouts of violent head-shaking. that’s a bad casting decision there.

brandon victor dixon was very good as judas, though seemed slightly more restrained, at least up until judas’ death. his emotion toward jesus however is visible, and that hug at the beginning of the arrest was heartbreaking.

ben daniels was fantastic, and norm lewis blew it out of the water as caiaphas. the dude who played annas irked me though and i really don’t know why lmao.

the staging was cool and the space was used well, particularly with judas’ suicide. sara bailles is a sweetheart with such a pleasant voice and a gift. also, king herod as played by alice cooper? sweet.

Alice Cooper: Too Close for Comfort Coming to Downtown Wheeling's Wesbanco in October

WesBanco Arena made two major concert announcements this morning. Alice Cooper: Too Close for Comfort tour will be coming to WesBanco Arena on Sunday, October 8, 2023. Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment: Kiss of Death Tour with special guests Avatar and New Years Day will visit WesBanco Arena on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Rock legend Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock.  Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. Alice Cooper’s albums and singles are iconic in rock & roll. “School’s Out”, “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, “I’m Eighteen”, “Billion Dollar Babies”, and many more. In 1975, Cooper released his first solo album “Welcome to My Nightmare”, accompanied by the groundbreaking theatrical concert tour. Cooper was widely praised in 2018 for his performance as King Herod in NBC-TV’s live production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” He has also made memorable appearances in “Wayne’s World”, “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare”, and on “That ‘70’s Show.” With his influence on rock & roll and popular culture long since acknowledged, there is little that Alice Cooper hasn't achieved in his remarkable career, including platinum albums, sold-out tours and any number of honors and career achievement awards.   ICE NINE KILLS make music both timeless and timely, mixing metal, hardcore, and punk, with accessible power. New hard-rock-and-horror anthems like “Hip to be Scared,” “Assault & Batteries,” “Take Your Pick,” and “Farewell II Flesh” demonstrate Spencer Charnas’s fascination with fright, pop culture obsession, and his expertise with inescapably wicked melodic hooks and clever twists of phrase. Dan Sugarman (guitar/vocals), Ricky Armellino (guitar/vocals), Patrick Galante (drums), and Joe Occhuiti (bass/vocals) are the current co-conspirators behind Spencer Charnas, who founded the band as a teen in the early 2000s. Decadent, devious, and fiercely insane, ICE NINE KILLS celebrate pop culture’s darkest edges, mining a cinephile library’s worth of iconic horror on The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2. The creative marriage made in hell of music and fiction began in earnest with the Top 5 Hard Rock album, Every Trick in the Book, which brought the previous three records’ themes to new levels.  Loudwire hails ICE NINE KILLS as “one of the most unique acts in metal right now.” The band’s synergy of music and lifestyle draws favorable comparisons to Slipknot and Rob Zombie. Visionary trailblazers and multimedia raconteurs, INK built a thrilling world for a growing legion of devoted true believers, with theatrical shows, high-concept videos, and inventive band-to-fan communion.  Since coming to life in 2005, In This Moment have presided over a diehard fan base under the watch of “mother” figure and frontwoman Maria Brink—joined by co-founder and lead guitarist Chris Howorth, bassist Travis Johnson, guitarist Randy Weitzel, and Kent Dimmel. As millions convened upon the group’s otherworldly and unforgettable concerts, they quietly emerged as one of the most influential and impactful bands of the 21st century. To date, in addition to the Gold-selling album, Blood , the quintet have garnered six Gold and Platinum singles, followed by a trifecta of Top 25 entries on the Billboard Top 200 with Black Widow  and Ritual . With a total stream tally well past 200 million as of 2020, Ritual elevated them to new creative and critical peaks as well. In 2022, the band released Blood 1983 , a reimagined EP commemorating the ten-year anniversary of Blood, and most recently had their song “I Would Die For You” appear on the soundtrack for John Wick: Chapter 4. Tickets for both concerts are on sale Friday, July 21st at 10:00am. Tickets can be purchased at WesBancoArena.com, calling 304-233-4470, or visiting the WesBanco Arena Box Office.
